xExposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car
under direct sunlight for long
periods, shade the interior using
sunshades.
xDo not leave vinyl products on the
leather upholstery for long periods.
They may affect the leather quality
and colouring. If the cabin
temperature becomes hot, the vinyl
may deteriorate and adhere to the
genuine leather.
▼Plastic Part Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not use polishing agents.
Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discolouration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.
▼Instrument Panel Top (Soft pad)
Maintenance
Extremely soft material is used for the
soft pad surface. If the soft pad surface
is rubbed harshly with a dry cloth, it
could result in the surface being
damaged and leaving white scratch
marks.
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft
cloth soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5%) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
▼Active Driving Display
Maintenance*
The dust-proof sheet has a coating.
When cleaning , do not use a hard or
rough-surface cloth, or cleaning
detergent. In addition, if a chemical
solvent gets on the active driving
display, wipe it off immediately. The
dust-proof sheet could be damaged
and the surface coating could be
scratched. Use a fine, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
NOTE
Use of compressed air when cleaning
the dust-proof sheet is recommended.
▼Panel Maintenance
If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it off
with a soft cloth soaked in clean water
and thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning ,
use the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft
cloth soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be
scratched easily.
▼Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with
an oily, greasy, or waxy
film, clean
them with glass cleaner. Follow the
directions on the container.
CAUTION
¾Do not scrape or scratch the inside
of the window glass. It could
damage the thermal filaments and
the aerial lines.
¾When washing the inside of the
window glass, use a soft cloth
dampened in lukewarm water, gently
wiping the thermal filaments and the
aerial lines.
